It's almost always Democrats, even when it's obvious Republicans won the debate. That was one of the reasons you knew Trump won the debate against Biden so easily, because the polling actually showed he won it. Like, even when, you know, if a Republican wins, it still usually shows the Democrats win those polls. It's kind of the same feeling I have with this one.

And part of it, I think there's several factors. Let me run these by you real quick, Glenn, on this. So one is... One of the first things people saw in that speech was Al Green disrupting it. And people hate that. Yes, the hardcore super AOC fans will like it. And Al Green will get lots of donations because of his quote-unquote bravery, standing up, resistance, blah, blah, blah.

It will work for Al Green. But the incentives here are screwed up because it works against his party and it works for Donald Trump as well.

And so I think part of the reason is a lot of people probably watched the first 15 minutes of the speech and that's it. And they saw that and they were annoyed by him. So I think that's part of it. Yeah, and they were annoyed. They're like... It's the same crap. Just let it go. Come on. I want to hear what he's saying. I know you're wasting my time. Right.

I would like the first line of that speech to be from the president being like, look, I got a lot to get through. Please don't applause. No applause. But I mean, you know, it's hard. It's a trapping of that thing. Secondarily, people are speculating, you know, Just like when we don't really want to watch the Biden State of the Union, maybe a lot of Democrats just didn't tune in.

So the people, the group watching it were more Republican. Now, CBS did this poll. They should be correcting for that. You know, I have not gone through their methodology of that poll, but that shouldn't be the factor. If it is the factor, it's a really sloppy job by CBS. The other thing, though, I think is what you're getting at in that, number one, it was pretty optimistic.

It wasn't the American carnage speech from, you know, 2017. It was a really optimistic speech. You know, as much as we, I think, as, you know, jaded media members get a little tired of like, oh, here's 19 people in the audience. We're going to tell their stories. I do think that connects with people. A lot of those stories were really compelling. Those terrible and awful.
